She almost sits up by herself. She's got two teeth. And she's grabby. She says, "da, da, da" sometimes. She's learning to wave. She'll look at her hands and mimic the wave. We think she's "advanced." NOT! Peter's got a negative stigma against people who always think their child is special or advanced. Goes back to his days working at Mad Science (science camp for 6th graders). 80% of the parents would whisper to him, "our child is special" or "advanced" and so it became a joke. Yeah, lady, we'll be sure to put him with all of the other special ones.... so I guess you won't catch us saying Sydnie is either of those adjectives. Except when we compare her to Cousin Tessa who's 3.5 months younger...
